Heresy Thursday – Armour Up With Contemptor Dreadnought Legion Upgrades

One of the enduring images of the Horus Heresy is Contemptor Dreadnoughts smashing their way through the front lines with contemptuous ease. These mighty war machines are clad in the colours and livery of their Legion – and you’ll soon be able to upgrade the awesome plastic Contemptor with sculpted heraldry of your choice. 

First to release are resin torso-and-head upgrade sets for six Legions – the Sons of Horus, Imperial Fists, Dark Angels, Emperor’s Children, White Scars, and Iron Warriors.

Veterans of the Horus Heresy may recognise these adornments from the resin Contemptor Dreadnoughts currently available from Forge World. They've been rebuilt and retooled to work with the new plastic model in all its versatile glory.

However, this does mean that the original resin Legion Contemptor Dreadnoughts – which have Legion-specific shoulders, legs, and other details – are not long for this world. They’ll soon be marked as Last Chance to Buy, and after that will disappear for good, so if you want one before the upgrade set becomes available, you’ll need to order it soon.
